Ramadan Kareem, ladies and gentlemen!

Here’s the Prestigious list of food to try out this Ramadan to work your way towards a healthier Iftaar.

Sweet-potatoes and carrots

Carrots and sweet potatoes do not only look good together, but are also good for your heart, body and soul. Carrots have been known to get rid of bad skin, reduce cholesterol levels and help reduce menstrual pain by balancing hormones and getting rid of excess estrogen that cause depression and mood swings.

Sweet potatoes on the other hand, control stress, keep your liver healthy and can provide constant support to your digestive system all throughout the holy month of Ramadan. They contain dietary fiber that can keep your digestion in check after long hours of fasting.

These two could make a great team for your Ramadan Iftaar and Seheri Platter!

Oatmeal with freshly peeled bananas

Abundance of insoluble fibers present in oatmeal keeps our stomachs and minds hearty and healthy throughout the day. Insoluble fibers, as opposed to soluble fibers keep your stomach full for longer hours while you fast.

It is also highly recommended for keeping your liver, colon and skin healthy.

Bananas contain “muscle-relaxing” minerals and carbohydrates that are known to activate sleep hormones in your body. Bananas teamed with oatmeal during Iftaar and Seheri can increase your chances of sleeping better up to 30 %.

Beans, lentils and chickpeas.

The answer to all of our weight gaining worries during Ramadan lies in a healthy mix of beans, lentils and chickpeas.

Aside from keeping your cholesterol level in check, your heart healthy and mind fresh, a healthy mix of beans, lentils and chickpeas immensely increase your chances of losing weight during Ramadan.

The more you eat a combination of these foods, the more weight your body loses.

So, try these three combinations of food for iftaar, seheri and dinner throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Give your mind and body what it deserves.
